Another reworked fanart from an old set. This one was quite fun and made me realized how huge progress I made since I first started the Pandora Hearts fanarts set an how proud I'm of myself because of it

This is a really great artwork but will you kill me if I say I like the old one much better? It has more resemblance to the original manga character. I can tell you improved a lot - the colouring, the shading, the detail work and overall realism is outstanding! But while this one is a fantastic portrait of a man, he looks nothing like the character in my opinion. (I do realize it's extremely difficult to depict a simplified cartoon/manga character as a real person, I guess I just always imagined Rufus as a young man with a soft feminine face and Far-Eastern features.)

Why would I kill you for that I know he's less similar now, but the old version was too horrible for me to even think it was out there and I had to redo it As for his actual appearance I always imagined all the characters as European looking because of the world setting. Plus, his name doesn't suggest he'd look more Asian than the rest of the characters. But then it's a Japanese comics so all of them could look Asian. That's the beauty of interpretation And the feminity - I was asked several times who is SHE so I had to make him look slightly more masculine to not kill the askers (or myself) XD Thank you very much for the comment hun!(also, your avatar is BUGGING me )
